What EXACTLY happened to go from being the world's leading power
... to the buffoons of Europe?
30 years war, Kang.
I don't know, you tell me.
I would have said the price revolution. It's a shame too. But that is one of the more significant events in human history and will ripple throughout time forever. All they did was get too good at conquering and producing. Life is so cruel bros.
People who organised this should spend eternity in prison.
You were never the worlds leading power at all. You've always been poorer than Italy, and from the 1300s also poorer than France, then after that the Netherlands and Britain. At no point in human history has Spain ever been close to the #1 nation.
B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but we managed to steal loads of Gold from native Americans for the Habsburgs so they could build massive palaces outside of Spain
That isn't an achievement.
They fell behind in ship building technology and their Galleons became sitting ducks for English and French privateers.
Lies.
We were much richer than you, dickless pirate
Napoleon happened.
Brits are STILL butthurt
Lmao.
Lie.
becomes multi-culutural empire
immediately crumbles
Many such cases.
kang.
Shut up protie heretic scum.
Talking to modern hispanistas is always sad, especially if it's latinx ones. They are brainwashed retards who think that the Spanish Empire was an antiwhite globohomo kalergi-plan empire that promoted racemixing and racial equality (it wasn't). They are also the type of person who calls everyone they don't like a nazi.
Nice fake info from a YouTube video, you fucking dumb Arab. England has been wealthier than Spain for at least 700 years. We actually had an economy and a middle class while all you had was stealing Gold and you never produced anything at all in your entire history.
You've never been our equal. Your empire was trash. Ours uplifted every nation - and even the Spanish colonies were industrialised by Anglos not Spanish.
That image, Murdoch Chans bs, is debunked here:
Borbons, then Trafalgar
This is a traditional Spanish parade, a hold over from the bacha bazi the Al Andalusians used to practice
Why does Portugal exist?
>Brits are STILL butthurt
lmao, got onto Hispanic twitter and they live their entire lives seething over "Anglo pirates". Every competition or war we ever had with Spain we trashed them and made them look 3rd rate. You suck at economics, at industry, at technology, at ship building, at warfare. Whenever you landed in an area that didn't have native Indians to force into slave labour, you built nothing, while our Anglosphere has 20+ cities that are superior to Madrid. You're not equal, not even close.
The inbred monarchs betrayed Franci
multicultural power
Yes.
The catholic empire was that. What you have today is a mass of unidentified slaves working for tirants.
We have our "Fueros" the ones protwcted each culture and race inside the catholic empire.
crumbled
It didnt crumble, it splitted in many pieces, because a carefully developed propaganda tecnique called black legend.
please anon, we all know that your people are always trying of re-write the histories books, must of what you know is fake or an invention.
he's having a meltdown
Roflmao
You messed with the dutch.
Now you ain't much.
Habsberg Jews, Jewbsberg, made the 1520s war *278 years war
They are takiya faggots.
There are very few carlistas remaining... but there isnt an oficial TRUE hispanic carlist party or congruence of people.
sad
Well they are not sad they are working for the kikes or moors...
Otherwise is that, that fact makes you feel sad... wich is understandable, but there is no reason the carlist movement is spreaded even in the non woke lefttoids.. we are everywhere nao.
It is only a matter of time.... and a lot of sacrifice and suffering i suppose but we will make it.
I don't need to have a meltdown, this is easy work and always is with Spanish as all they have is "Muh black legend propaganda ruined our empire" and "el Anglo pirates stole our Gold that we had just stolen from South America - unfair!"
Niggah you are / were pirates and heretics... traitors to Jesus and Rome.
It doesnt matter... añl those who gave their lufes to return your bloody island to the catholic family will be honored now... you should convert and soon (if you are not a paki scum moor)
Spain went to the Americas to expand its territory and the religion across the world. The Brits went to America in search of edible food and women that aren't hideous.
And you're still coping and seething about that.
Rare atmospheric phenomenon
qrd? this like zwarte piet in holland?
Spain was never a world power dumbass beaner
Was it the Protestant Reformation that spelled the end for global Habsburg hegemony? Would we otherwise all be speaking Spanish today?
Kekfuel this is just an avg event in most American cities
Spain curbstomped the protestants during the palatinate campaign of the 30 years way
England had a very small population at that point, since we took ages to recover from the black death. The low population made us usually wealthy per capita though don't know if that was more than spain.
You're coping as all the places you went to and imposed your system and religion on the natives is largely gone now and your genetic legacy is minimal, whereas our genetics and culture still exist in the Anglopshere and other whites assimilated into it, while Spanish language is now a 3rd worlder language that has been ruined by 80IQ brown Hispanic diabetic pygmies.
Change happened. And Spain has nice climate, easy living. What's the point of working hard when you can just sit there and enjoy living.
Pol for a bunch of racists you are very unrealistic.
slavery and extraction based economies were not a good tax base for long term growth and development. When gold makes line go up you invest in the infrastructure for extracting that gold over other investments, then there's spanish culture where being hard working is seen as being undesirable, it was inevitable that spanish power would fold before it's time, at least the spanish empire died fighting, what happened to the British empire has been pathetic, it's going to be funny watching England fall to shitslam in my old age.
Anglos, Jews and Frenchs.
Spend the 1400's and 1500's completely kicking the Jews out of your country. Rewarded by God with new golden age. Picked up the majority of gold, silver, and emeralds from the new world. Immediately attracted Sephardic Jews back to your country in 1600....
You're decedents can only miserably scream why why why on an internet Mongolian basket weaving forum.
most of the best men you had left for the americas or asia hundreds of hears ago. with a small population to begin with that sealed your fate. im one of the descendants of the conquistadors that left. i gave the greatest empire in human history the USA 6 years of service as a combat arms MOS engaging in combat(when we were deployed)
Jews
You cannot use this excuse, Manolo, having expelled them all in 1492.
expelled them all in 1492
They keep coming back everytime they hear golden coins clinking though.
